The Shamrock Lodge Hotel is without doubt, The best venue to have your wedding. The Grounds in which the hotel is situated are very picturesque and ideal for all your Wedding Photo's. We had our full Wedding , Ceremony and Reception, at the Hotel and the Management and Staff were very professional . There was nothing they wouldn't do to help out. The food at the reception was top class and was served very quickly. All our guests complimented us on our choice of venue and remarked that not many of them knew the Hotel existed.

We got married in The Shamrock Lodge on January 2nd 2016 and I cannot compliment the Hotel enough for the way we were treated. From our initial meeting with Paddy and Alan McCaul, to when we checked out of the hotel after the wedding, we felt part of the family that is The Shamrock Lodge. The hotel was decorated beyond our expectations when we arrived and I have to admit a wow factor when we saw how the Ballroom was prepared and presented for our reception. The food which was served was of 5 star quality, and substantial amounts of it, and it was commented to us on the day by our guests and indeed many times since how delicious ... Read more

The food which was served was of 5 star quality, and substantial amounts of it, and it was commented to us on the day by our guests and indeed many times since how delicious it was and indeed how it was presented. The attention to detail by staff on the day was noted by all but it would be remiss of me not to mention the duty manager of the day, Warren Samuels, for his professionalism and courteous nature shown to us and our guests. Any request we had on the day was dealt with immediately and without any fuss.

All in all we cannot thank and praise The Shamrock Lodge Hotel, and their wonderful staff, for assisting us in making our wedding day so memorable.

On 17 May 2014 my husband and I had our wedding reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. From the day we booked the hotel 2 years previous to the day we checked out 2 days after our wedding, Paddy, Alan, Deb, Warren and all the staff were absolutely amazing. Their personalised service was exactly what we were looking for, their motto of " let our family look after yours" is a motto this wonderful hotel delivers on, this hotel will go above and beyond helping you make the biggest day of your life the easiest and most fun!

Their personalised service was exactly what we were looking for, their motto of " let our family look after yours" is a motto this wonderful hotel delivers on, this hotel will go above and beyond helping you make the biggest day of your life the easiest and most fun! The team puts so much energy and enthuasiam into helping you, you feel like your wedding is as important to them as it is to you. We live in Sydney and planning a wedding from there at times could be stressful but we never worried about our venue. We met with Paddy several times before the big day, he personifies the word "True Gentleman". We would've been lost without his support. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, the hotel went above and beyond on the day with their service and hospitality. The Shamrock Lodge is the only place, I believe, in Ireland anyone should get married! You would not get this personalised service from other multinational hotels. Our guests were from all over Ireland and the world and they are still raving about the hospitality that was shown to them on our wedding day. Thank you Paddy and all your fantastic team for making us feel like we were the first couple ever getting married at your hotel! That's how special you will feel at the Shamrock Lodge! They make dream weddings come true! X Olivia & Tim

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and it was by far the best and one of the easiest decisions we made in the whole wedding planning process. We cannot speak highly enough of Paddy, Alan and all of the staff in the Lodge who made our day seamless from start to finish and one we will always cherish. From the fabulous food to the friendly and professional staff, we could not have asked for more.

We had our wedding at The Shamrock Lodge Hotel on the 30th of May 2015. From start to finish, Alan and the team at the hotel couldn't do enough for us. Everything that we asked for was taken on board. As for the day itself, it was perfect. Nothing forgotten and everything went better than we could have expected. The ball room looked amazing. After dinner our guests were taken to another reception room for dessert . This really added to the atmosphere. To say the food was delicious is an understatement. People are still talking about it. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. Quality food and service. A day we will never forget .

"The staff of The shamrock lodge hotel could not do enough for us on our special day. No ask was too big or too small. The hotel was recently redecorated and looks amazing and we were wowed by the banquet room when we walked in, it looked magical. Our family and friends commented on how amazing and friendly the staff were, how amazing the food was and how fabulous the hotel rooms were. I cannot thank you enough for the fabulous day John and I had for our wedding. Everything we asked of Alan and his team was never a problem and he couldn't do enough for us!

I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge to future couples that are getting married. We had a fantastic day and could not have asked for any more from the Lodge. Alan Mc Caul was very approachable and so easy to deal with all through the planning. The staff were friendly and go above and beyond which made the day even better and it ran so smoothly. My wedding was on a Friday and even tho there was another wedding on Saturday, myself and Darren were not forgotten about and were still made feel at home & accommodated in the hotel. Thanks to everyone who made the day so wonderful. I would love to do it all again!!!

Myself and Ray got married here on October 2015. It was perfect from beginning to end. The Shamrock Lodge Hotel was our first and only choice for our wedding! The food and service on the day was amazing and all our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was! Huge thank you to Alan and all of the staff for making our day perfect and stress free!

We had our wedding here last Saturday. Over the years we've had many different functions in the Shamrock Lodge. From 21st to Football functions. Each occasion is memorable. When we planned our wedding, the first thing we wanted was to have our reception in the Shamrock Lodge. Through the years we have attended numerous weddings and had great days and nights, so for myself and Nicki this was the place for us. Last Saturday we had our ceremony and reception in the Lodge.

And that's exactly what they did. Thanks all and we will never forget our day.

I have to say that the shamrock lodge and all the staff were excellent,they were there every step of the way for us and the food I can't compliment them enough it was perfect..The shamrock lodge is definitely the place to have a wedding.

From the moment we started our planning for our wedding May 1st 2015, we knew the Shamrock Lodge was the only place for us. We had planned a festival theme from the get go and Alan, Paddy, Warren and all of their team could not have been more accommodating. With over 50 coloured Chinese lanterns and metre upon metre of bunting to be hung, they never made us feel like any request was too much and that was just the start of our decorating. Our entire day was made memorable by how easy Alan had made everything for us.

Our entire day was made memorable by how easy Alan had made everything for us. Our day flowed naturally without a hitch only made possible by the attention to detail and dedication to perfection that the Shamrock Lodge has. All of our guests commented on the warmth of atmosphere in the hotel and how welcome they were made to feel. Our meal was spectacular in taste, timing and presentation, and a credit to the kitchen and waiting staff.

We will never be truly able to capture in words how grateful we are to the management of The Shamrock Lodge Hotel. Each time we called to the hotel even for minute details we were always greeted with a smile, a coffee and a warm welcome. They made our day the success it was. Ours was the plan, but they executed every last detail better than we could have ever imagined. They will share a special place in the memories we have of our wedding

Myself and my husband celebrated our wedding in June in the hotel. I literally cannot praise the management and staff enough. They were simply amazing, our guests are still raving about the food, the friendly staff and the lovely homely vibe and electric atmosphere that was in the hotel the entire weekend. The management were outstanding catering to our every need/request in the build up to our big day. The whole team in the lodge worked so hard for our 300+ guests the entire weekend. I really felt everyone lived up to the hotels motto of "let our family look after yours".... It was literally a home away from home for three days! Thank you all for an unforgettable weekend ...

Well, where do I begin?! We had the most amazing experience here in The Shamock Lodge Hotel. From the day we first visited and met with Alan McCaul we were hooked. Alan was so down to earth, realistic and unbelievably helpful and accommodating. We had looked at numerous venues prior to visiting the Shamrock Lodge but none of them were on par or had a wedding coordinator as personable as Alan. We told Alan exactly what we wanted and he arranged everything without having to have meeting after meeting with us. It was straight forward and effortless for us and we had the most amazing day of our lives here under the care of Alan, Warren and their team. The ... Read more

I cannot thank Alan, Warren and team enough for the exceptional job they did for us on our big day, it was incredible. Thank you! :)

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on September 9th and from our very initial inquiries with Mary Glynn, the wedding co-ordinator, everything went like clockwork. Everything was so well organised. The hospitality was fantastic, the food was excellent and the staff were so helpful and friendly on the day. Even the night before I was onto the hotel a few times, checking if different items were delivered to the hotel and they were so responsive and pleasant to deal with. It was so easy and stress free. Having the civil ceremony in the hotel was very convenient for the elderly guests at the wedding. The bridal suite was beautiful, breakfast the next morning was fantastic and all ... Read more

We had our wedding in the shamrock lodge August this year. I could not highly recommend this hotel enough, they management and staff welcomed us from the onset and couldn't do enough for us. On the lead up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding they went above and beyond to make it a day to remember. They have recently done up the ballroom, bridal suite and gardens and our photos turned out amazing. The food can not be faulted it was so tasty and the portions were plenty full. The hotel itself has a very family friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic hotel for a wedding reception and lovely location to visit Athlone town. We had our wedding here in August, friends and family travelled over from England and stayed Thursday to Sunday, they could not compliment the Shamrock enough! The staff are happy and friendly, the food is fabulous and fantastic value for money. All I can say is there is a sprinkle of magic poured over the Shamrock when they host a wedding that can never be captured on any website or review. A big thank you to Alan, Paddy and all the staff that made our wedding such an amazing experience for us and our guests. Lynn and David, 5th August 2016.

We can not praise the shamrock lodge enough for the wonderful wedding day that we had. We came over from England to get married in my families home town and the staff were brilliant from start to finish. It made the whole process so much easier for us as a family. Mary the wedding planner was extremely helpful and with the help of all of the staff made sure our special day ran smoothly. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a wonderful day and those personal touches - you are treated as one of the family from the minute you walk through the door.

We got married in The Shamrock Lodge in April 2016. It was the only choice for us when finding a venue as my family have always gone to The Shamrock Lodge over a long number of years and always received a five star service. From the minute we made contact with Alan we received a very professional but personal service which was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. There is nothing that we asked for that Alan didn't make happen for us and he went above and beyond what we had expected.

We had our wedding in the shamrock lodge hotel on June 11th 2016. From the word go Alan couldn't do enough for us , from out pre wedding meetings down to the fine details. On the day itself everything was just perfect. The food, the decor and the service was 100 per cent. Without hesitation the shamrock lodge is in my opinion the best wedding venue in the Midlands.

I would highly recommend this venue for any event. Thanks again for making our day so special, Kind regards Fiona & Thomas Manton.

The Shamrock Lodge Hotel was just outstanding. From when we first met Alan, we knew we would have no worries. He is so brilliant to work with, and no job is too big for him.

We got married in the lovely Shamrock Lodge on the 23rd of April this year. We had heard rave reviews from some friends that got married there and from the minute we spoke to Alan, the manager, and looked around with him, we could see why it was so popular. We had also both been to a lot of weddings here and the food and atmosphere was always lovely. From the get go Alan, Paddy, Mary and the team were so good to deal with. Nothing was too big a request or too silly a question. At our meal tasting we got enough food to feed a small army and Alan was so open to any of our suggestions. On ... Read more

On the day itself we had a ball. The food was great, everyone was raving about it. We got a lot of comments from people saying they felt it was very relaxed and the hotel was very homely. We were so delighted that people had a great time and that feedback was positive.

The barmen were also very obliging to us late into the night and we all had a blast, no one moved us out of the ballroom and they let us continue on with our sing song with no hassle.

We had a lot of guests stay over the second night and again the hotel was so good and they really looked after us on the second night too.

Overall we are so delighted that we picked the Shamrock Lodge in Athlone. We are in a town packed with hotels and venues for weddings but I would have no hesitation in recommending here as it is family owned and run, the staff are so good to deal with and we had an amazing day.

We had our wedding here on the 3rd October 2015.. Everything was outstanding. Alan was so easy to deal and made sure that everything was perfect. Everyone we dealt with were so friendly and helpful. Our guests are still complementing the amazing food and service which you all provided. Could not recommend ye highly enough. Thank you for making our day amazing.

A massive thank you to Warren, Alan, Paddy and all the staff of the Shamrock lodge Hotel for making our wedding day the most perfect special day ever..The ballroom was stunning and exactly as we wanted it to be!!! The food the service and the attention to detail is first class. . Without a doubt the best hotel around for a wedding.

From the very bottom of our hearts, James and I would like to thank the management and staff of the Shamrock Lodge for making our wedding on Friday March 18th 2016 so special. We could not have asked for more from a venue, everything was perfect from the attention to detail in the room, to the food, to the atmosphere. We have been inundated with compliments on how well everything went and how great the staff and service was. It was honestly faultless. We had a fantastic day. We cannot rate the Shamrock Lodge high enough, they were so helpful and accommodating they made the planning of the day so simple and stress free. We recommend anyone who is looking ... Read more

My wife and I git married only last weekend on the 13/2/16. From the day we booked with paddy and his son Alan we couldn't have asked for anything more friendly and useful service. If we need a penny they would give us a euro in return. The most nicest friendliest family hotel and staff we have ever met. From doing up our dinner list to sampling it their wasn't one fault. They tried to meet our budget as much as we tried to make sure they were happy too. As for the food itself everyone has complemented us on the choice but their is no way we could have done it if it wasn't for the staff of the ... Read more

They tried to meet our budget as much as we tried to make sure they were happy too. As for the food itself everyone has complemented us on the choice but their is no way we could have done it if it wasn't for the staff of the lodge. They were the ones who cooked it to serving it so we know we couldn't have had a good experience without them. Thanks so much and if anyone ever wants to ask just give the lodge a ring and I know for a fact they won't hesitate in answering any questions.

From the day I got engaged I knew I would be having my reception here. We got married 11/09/2010. The hotel was fab. Paddy,Warren,Alan and all staff members were outstanding. They could not have possible done anymore for us and gave us a reception we would never forget! The whole day was brilliant. We had a big wedding and nothing was a problem to them. They were so professional. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge for your wedding reception. It's like home from home& you really are treated like one of the family! Thanks again! Amy&Eoin Fox.

If you are looking for a fantastic venue for your wedding we 100% recommend the Shamrock Lodge in Athlone. We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge on the 18th of July 2015 and couldn't be happier with the venue we chose. The hospitality from Alan & Paddy McCaul and all the staff was top notch, everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful and down to earth. From the very first meeting with Alan, the Manager, we were made to feel welcome and that nothing would be a problem with planning the wedding.

The hospitality from Alan & Paddy McCaul and all the staff was top notch, everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful and down to earth. From the very first meeting with Alan, the Manager, we were made to feel welcome and that nothing would be a problem with planning the wedding. We live in Australia but even this huge distance was no problem as we had numerous calls and emails with Alan to keep us up to date with anything we needed to do. Nothing we asked for was an issue, they really are professional and make the whole wedding venue planning process actually easy and fun!

We, our families and guests had a fantastic weekend, we honestly cannot fault anything , we had so many compliments about the food and service, everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after perfectly. Alan was personally there for the whole wedding day to make sure we were happy and that everything was running smoothly. The hotel has been newly renovated and all of our overseas guests were very impressed with the rooms. We also took advantage of the lovely gardens and different areas of the hotel for our photographs on the day.Our whole wedding experience was amazing thanks in a large part to the Shamrock Hotel, we are really looking forward to going to my sisters wedding there next year.

The Shamrock Lodge staff was incredibly helpful when planning and executing my entire wedding day. They worked with my family in planning because I live in the States, along with countless emails back and forth. When my husband and I arrived, they went over all of the decisions that were made. The staff made sure everything was perfect for us and our traveling wedding party. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to us as guests.

To all the staff and management at the Shamrock Lodge just a little note to say thank you very much. On the 25th September 2014 we had our wedding at the hotel and we both had a great day, all the staff and management were so helpful and friendly we couldn't ask for better because everything was perfect. I would recommend the hotel to everyone whether you are staying for a night away or an event I recommended the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. Thank you once again!
